BILL NUNN – LEUKEMIA

Bill Nunn frequented various television shows and movies, but he is most recognized for his role as Radio Raheem in the film Do the Right Thing. He was also in the 2002 Spider-Man movie as the supporting character Robbie Robertson. Nunn studied at Morehouse College as an English major. Since then, he has trudged his way to becoming a writer. As time went by, the persevering artist shifted his ways into acting and decided to focus on it.

Although he continued to have an active career in Hollywood, Nunn was already battling leukemia. He died at 63 years old, and his death was announced by Do the Right Thing creator Spike Lee. Before his death, Nunn helped free kids from student loans by offering scholarships through the Bill Nun Theater Outreach Project, which the actor founded last 2008 in Pittsburgh. His death was a meaningful one, especially to the kids whose lives he touched when he was still alive.
